I haven't been out to that part of Columbus, but some people on the Columbus subreddit said they were already moving into the Westerville, OH one (Westerville is a suburb of Columbus)

Nah, you just won the mobile food pantry lottery. Congrats! The jackpot is crab legs.

Murkowski was literally primaried by a further right nut job, ran in the general as a write in, won and rejoined the Republicans. The only thing that will stop Alaskans electing her is death or retirement.

We were early-ish adapters, but these also weren't true in ears. Our guitarist had a professional quality soundboard with a bunch of out channels, so we each bought a cheap soundboard and used the output from the main one as our monitor channel. My setup cost me $125 and that's still cheaper than decent in ears today lol. (And I've used the soundboard for jazz trio gigs so it's paid me back in spades!)

When RadioShack was still a thing. I was in a band that used in ear monitors. I bought a pair of decent earbuds there for $25 with a $5 extra warranty, which states I'd have to pay $5 for a replacement. Between jumping on stage, forgetting they were plugged in or just plain blowing them out, I went thru 6 pairs jn 3 years, each time paying 10$ (5 for the replacement and 5 for the warranty)

When my grandma passed away, we had to sell the family farm that had been in the family since the 1930s. While mounting the massive undertaking of cleaning out 100 years of stuff from 2 houses and 3 barns, I stumbled upon 2 old wooden cheese boxes being used to store screws from a brand called Blue Ribbon Cheese. I googled it and that was how Pabst Blue Ribbon survived prohibition. One sits in my sock drawer with a few pocket knives for me to choose from each morning.

I don't use it daily, but I also have a 3 foot long homemade level with my great grandfather's initials carved in it. He died in the 1950s but it could be older than that.

I know new cars depreciate fairly quickly across the board. Does anyone know what the average is?

Didn't know that was the case, thanks for correcting me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think the TV series had started shooting yet, they just signed a deal. (If I'm wrong I'm gonna have to suck it up and get Apple TV because the entire series is phenomenal and I'm looking forward to it)

They already do with sales tax. ( If the tax works out to a fraction of a cent, almost every register or POS system will round up...it's a tiny amount per transaction, but it does happen and adds up over daily, weekly and monthly transactions)

This is something I see come up a lot, but I think people are severely underestimating the amount of infrastructure that would be lost by "starting over." Fundraising, state committees, local committees, volunteers, etc. "Starting over" effectively means surrendering nearly every election on any scale larger than a municipality to MAGA Republicans for years while those networks are rebuilt and the country cannot survive that. We need more political parties, but unless and until a viable 3rd party emerges, we're stuck with what we've got and refusing to support the only non MAGA options at the ballot box will actively make the country worse.

If you don't like it, help build that 3rd party and recruit candidates and donors to your cause (or try to shift the DNC and the Overton window back to the left). Until that's done there unfortunately isn't a better alternative.
